Marbled Chocolate Peanut Cookies image

This recipe came about by accident when I was making both my husband's favorite peanut butter cookies and my favorite chocolate cookies. I had two small portions of dough left over and decided to combine them into one flavor-filled cookie. -Shirley DeLange, Byron Center, Michigan

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate flavor was dominant and the peanut butter flavor was subtle.
